# Skill vs SmartSeed Education

The clearest difference is ads: SmartSeed Education at none against Skill's shown. SmartSeed Education also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Skill's advantage is ratings volume (103 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Skill sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and SmartSeed Education sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SmartSeed Education holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Skill has 103 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Skill ships an update fortnightly, SmartSeed Education every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
